The dplyr team is genuinely working hard to make the tabular data manipulation tool. IIRC versions 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 all brought major enhancements. The basic structure has remained consistent but the advanced API keeps getting refactored, usually for the better I think.

(I know some people swear by data.table, but I find it gets ugly fast if you want to do anything more than simple joins or split-apply-combine)

Data.table's join syntax is literal insanity to me. That said I used dtplyr to generate data.table code recently and it worked well, except for one edge case.
